Out of the Dark and Into the Light

Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary has a temporary moratorium on accepting new residents due to a nationwide decline in charitable giving; however, our hearts remain wide open. When true emergencies arise and there’s nowhere else for a monkey to go, we do everything in our power to help.These eight survivors had nowhere else to turn. As evidence in an ongoing federal investigation, they were required to remain in Florida, leaving few options for sanctuary. The case remains open but is finally nearing resolution.

Thanks to the generosity of A Kinder World Foundation, which provided a lifesaving grant for their first year of care, these monkeys are safe. They arrived on March 31, 2025. Now, as their healing continues, we invite you to stand with us. Your donation ensures that these survivors will live out their lives in peace. Your support ensures they can continue to heal and thrive — surrounded by fresh air, sunshine, good food, and loving care. Together, we can help them stay out of the dark and into the light.
